DIFFUSION• Diffusion describes the spread of particles through
random motion from the regions of higher concentration to the regions of lower concentration.
• After a period of time the particles are distributed randomly.
• At the end of a certain period, the average travelled distances by the particles will be zero. – Because the number of particles moving in one direction is
almost equal to the number of particles moving in the reverse direction
Diffusion
• The root mean square of the distances travelled by particles is always a positive.

• After a period of time, particles reach such locations along the motion axis that – the graph of the number of particles and their
distances from the starting point gives a "GAUSS" curve.
Diffusion
• N is the number of particles between x and x+Δx
• In addition to diffusion particles there may be other dissolved particles in the solution.
• In this case, the distribution rate of the particles, (travelled distance per unit of time) will be changed.
• High energy particles will lead to scattering of the low energy particles
Diffusion
The Boltzmann Equation describes the relationship between the particles in gases and solutions.
• the number of particles (Ny) which have Ey energy and • the number of particles (Nd) which have Ed energy

will be obtained.• If the low energy level Ed=0, then Vd=0. Therefore, instead of Nd, N0 could be used and equation will be as follows;

• This new equation is also a Gaussion function.• Each vertical line in the graph, represents the ratio of the
number of the particles whose velocities are between v and v+Δv and the number of stable particles.
Diffusion
• According to the kinetic theory of gases, there is a relationship between the kinetic energy of a particle and the absolute temperature of the system.
• Because the movement has 3 dimension, velocity has 3 dimension (Vx, Vy, Vz).
• Therefore, the kinetic energy in one dimension is the 1/3 of the total kinetic energy of the system

• The movement of particles (molecules or ions) in aqueous solutions is more complex- than the movements of molecules in gases. Because in these systems, particles are under the effect of friction forces.
• Friction force is proportional to the particle velocity and has opposite direction.
• For example, a particle which has Vx velocity in x-axis is under the effect of the following friction force:

f= Friction coefficientxx fVF
• Friction coefficient for the spherical molecules is:

• By the help of velocity, distance and energy equations, the following formula will be obtained:
• This is the ‘random walk’ of particles in one dimension.
• In 3 dimension the equation will be:

• Diffusion coefficient (D)
• Diffusion coefficient (D) will vary depending on– the absolute temperature,– the viscosity of the medium– size and shape of the particle
• ‘Random walk’ equations in 3 dimensions could be written in terms of diffusion coefficient as follows:

Fick’s Law of Diffusion
• Because the particles in a solution move randomly, the probability of movement in all directions is equal.
• If the molecules are highly concentrated in a region, the number of molecules leaving the area will be more than the number of the molecules arriving this region.
• Thus, there will be a net flow of molecules from highly concentrated region to the low concentrated region. This phenomenon is called "diffusion".
Flow of molecules in one dimension
Highly concentrated region
Low concentrated region
A = Cross-section area of the pipe
c1 is the concentration in x1 andc2 is the concentration in x2 A is the cross-section area of the pipeNet amount of particle (Δm) which flow from x1 to x2 in Δt time is:
With a proportionality constant the equation will be:

• If the x1 and x2 planes are too far apart from each other, then the amount of flowing particles between these planes will be very low.
• On the other hand, if these two planes are very close to each other, then the amount of flowing particles will be very high.
• Therefore, k constant in Fick’s Diffusion equation is inversely proportional with (x2-x1)=Δx.
k is referred to Fick's diffusion constant.D is the diffusion coefficient.

J: Diffusion flux: the amount of substance per unit area per unit timeFick’s first law postulates that the flux goes from regions of high concentration to regions of low concentration, with a magnitude that is proportional to the concentration gradient (spatial derivative).

Fick's second law predicts how diffusion causes the concentration to change with time

If the inial conditions are considered as; all the particles being in position x = 0 at time t=0 and in time particles walk away in both directions
